Found another great Spanish animator. Carlos Zapater posted his reel on Youtube and he has a lot of solid work presented. I am hoping some of the animators that have worked on these projects from Spain and France chime in and donate some more works.. fantastic..

these are some grabs from the 'web'. One of the supporters pointed me to these a bit ago and I am sure we have all seen these. I wish they were a bit clearer but they still show a nice bit of work. Sorry for the lag between posts I will have more to come shortly.

I have noticed that many people have asked for the clips to be placed in quicktime format. In an effort to respect my colleagues and the animators on the site, I would want to leave the mass distribution of work up to the people who have created the animation. Some of these clips are on Youtube as well as other sites, so they are able to be viewed there for frame by framing. I want everyone to understand that I know that you want to study the work bit by bit, but I think if I make the files downloadable without the consent of the artists, the depot will lose a lot of potential donations as well as respect. I think the community has been supportive because the work is not being passed out widely over the net. WHAT I WILL DO IS...I will ask for downloadable donations from the artists that I know and this will give us the best of both worlds! Lets keep our fingers crossed that this will come to light. If so I will set up an ftp where you can grab the clips easily. I appreciate the donations and we will continue to show the respect and appreciation for the animators that are posted on this site. I hope that everyone understands and can continue to enjoy the work here.

I appreciate everyone who visits the site and I will do my best to make it as enjoyable as I can.

I had a few moments to re read the emails (between unpacking) and view the links people I have sent. I have replied to them all but I cant figure out why they are getting kicked back. Anyway one link was this collection of Pacha animation. Bruce Smith was the supervising animator of Pacha so I am sure this a collection of his work and the guys/gals who worked with him. Bruce is definitely one of my favorite animators and one of the reasons why I am still animating to this day. I was hoping to gets some clearer versions of is work, but this is a great start. Thanks again for the donation!

Pencil Test Depot

This blog is for the people who love pencil tests. It can also be used as a resource for animators who are looking to study another animators work. Feel free to email me with pencil tests that you think should be posted here and we will review them and add them to the list.

I also want to say that we respect all the animators that are posted on this blog and it is in no way trying to gain anything from showing the pencil tests here except knowledge and inspiration. Animation has been a long passion for myself and the other authors of the blog. If any of the animators who are posted here feel that we should take the work down, we will do so immediately.
